Asher

Karen and I both go to pick Royal up from school. It's amazing to be cool with my family. Like everything is working out so perfectly. I've been thinking about us going to New York to live there. I'll talk to Karen about it later.

"Do you wanna go there yourself or should I pick him up?" she asks me.
"I'll do that."

"Oh okay." She relaxes on the chair and I get down the car. For the past two days, I've been picking Royal up from school. He's been really excited about it and yeah, I'm glad I've made it up to him and Karen and everyone.

I walk in there and I meet the receptionist. She lets me go into the main floor for Grade One Students so I can pick Royal up. Immediately he sees me, he runs out of class.

"Daddy!" He hugs me and I lift him up.
"Royal?" His class teacher calls and comes out of class. "Oh Good day Mr Andrews." She grins. "It's nice to meet you. I've never seen you before but now I have and I've seen the resemblance between you and your son, I'm happy about that. Royal is a very active child, the school is already proud of him."

Did she call me Mr Andrews? So Royal didn't answer my name at school? Just amazing! It's still all my fault.

"Thanks."

"Okay Royal, have a nice day at home ok?"

Royal gives her a thumbs up as she hands me his bags.

"Hey bruh, how was classes?" I rub my hand through his hair.

"Cool buh damn, I wanted to go home cause Zennìah ain't doing first grade in California anymore."

"Who's Zennìah?" I ask.
"I like her. We was in kindergarten together," he replies.

"So you know where she is now?"
"Yup. New York, according to what Ayden told me. Ayden's my best friend."

"Nice. So you wanna be with Zennìah in New York or you wanna be here with Ayden?"
"New York. I've always dreamed of living there."

"Okay? So we can move there anytime we want?"

"As soon as possible." He grins.

"Imma do just that for you." I drag his cheeks and we laugh together. We get to the car and he sits at the back seat.

"Hey lil dude, how was class?" Karen runs her hand through his hair.
"Good."

Just when she faces the front, our eyes meet with each other and we smile. None of us had an idea our future was gonna turn out like this.
I turn on the music player and Burberry Headband streams out from the stereo.

"Daddy can we get ice cream?" Royal asks.
"Sure."

I drive outta the lot and we hit the road so we can get icecream and get other stuffs.

It's night already. Royal is fast asleep in his room so it's just me and Karen awake. She's on her phone. I wrap my hand around her waist and pull her close to me. She gets her phone off her face.

I increase the volume of the music playing and lean close to her for a kiss. She kisses me too. I take her phone off her hands and turn it off, throwing it to the other side of the bed.

Next stuff, I'm on top of her and we're kissing romantically — making love. The lights are switching colors like they did the first time we had sex.

When I spreads her legs to kiss her, she kinda gives this body language that says she doesn't want it.

"What's wrong? You ok?" I caress her hair.
"It's like the first time, I don't want it to be this way again or for same stuffs to happen again..." she whispers and swallows hard, looking deep into my face. "You're gonna leave me again if there's any coincidence. I don't wanna go through that phase again."

"You feel I'm gonna leave you again? Nah, won't do that shit anymore. I ain't stupid."

"No Asher, I don't want it."

"Come on." I lean in closer and kiss her to shut her up. I keep giving her neck kisses and going down to kiss her belly button.

Her hands on my shoulder cause she keeps tryna push me away. It's obvious she doesn't want it. She doesn't have full trust for me yet.

"Please just stop."
"Trust me, Karie."

I hold her down on the bed and kiss her. The song fits our mood right now (Little More by Chris Brown). We kiss slowly.

My curly hair is touching her face as we kiss. Her breath is unsteady. I know she's nervous about this chemistry going on between us.
When I kiss her bosom, her breath gets more unsteady.

"Chill..." that comes from me as a whisper. "I'm here ok? It's not gonna be like before."
"Just stop..."

"Come on Karie, every time we do this doesn't mean you're gonna get pregnant."
"I know, I don't even wanna do this..."

There's a knock on the door of our room. I get off her and run my hand through my hair. She looks at me apologetically.

I go to the door and open it. It's Royal standing there.

"My tooth fell off." He opens his hand to reveal the fallen tooth. I thought this dude was fast asleep.

"Keep it under your pillow."

"Will a tooth fairy give me money?"
"I dunno, I guess." I shrug.
"Is mom awake?"

"No." I scratch my neck. Why do I have to lie?
"Okay, goodnight." He goes down the hallway. I shut the door and lock it.

When I turn back, Karen's standing right behind me. She moves closer and kisses me. Her hands are wrapped around my neck. I guess I'm gonna be giving someone hickeys tonight.
